Does the Soundrunner Passenger Ferry from Seattle to Kingston only run on weekdays?

Their website seems to suggest that's the case, which if true, is kind of lame because it would be a fun thing to do on the weekend. Anybody got the inside scoop or have some Kitsap County connections, can fill me in?

Much obliged.

    This article in the Seattle PI in October, 2010 explaining the new service being instituted said that "The port hopes the service can at least break even by the end of 2011."

    The daily weekday runs appear to hold the best hope for a ridership level that makes it financially feasible. Weekend runs apparently would be too much of a financial burden. This is the second recent attempt at someone trying to develop a successful service like this since an nine month experiment in 2005-2006 failed (Aqua Express, which ran weekday only service also). After that, in 2008, there was still hope for a viable foot traffic ferry. This article from then explains some of the costs, ridership and financial constraints of developing a new service.

    The SoundRunner ferry is a new service for M-F commuters. However, it will occasionally, more so during summer, make a special run on the weekends. For more information you can contact the Port of Kingston at 360-297-3545.
